Did Alexander Bradley Really Lose His Eye to Aaron Hernandez?

Alexander "Sherrod" Bradley, a key figure in the FX series "American Sports Story, " lost his right eye after a serious gunshot wound. According to the show and Bradley's own account, former NFL star Aaron Hernandez was behind the shooting. However, the truth remains unclear. Bradley texted Hernandez right after the incident, saying he never thought Hernandez would shoot him. Hernandez denied the accusation, but Bradley's credibility was later questioned due to a text message suggesting he couldn't recall who shot him. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the show's producers stand by their portrayal of Hernandez as a killer. Bradley was an ex-convict who became close friends with Hernandez around 2010. He sued Hernandez for $2. 5 million after the shooting, and the two exchanged hostile texts. Hernandez was never charged, but they later reached a confidential settlement. Bradley also testified against Hernandez in a double homicide case, claiming Hernandez killed two men in a drive-by shooting. Despite his testimony, Hernandez was acquitted. Bradley's own criminal history caught up with him. He was sentenced to five years in prison for shooting into a bar in Connecticut. By the time of his sentencing, he had already served three years. With his own shaky testimony and criminal past, it's hard to say for certain if Hernandez really shot him.
